looking for a peugeot 406 estate

[electropug]

hi im new to this forum and am looking for a peugeot 406 estate, 2/0 hdi 110 must be a 7 seat, thanks in advance

Hi & welcome to the forum, don't discount a nice car just because it hasn't got seven seats as these can be retro fitted very easyly & they are not to much to buy / come up on ebay quite often or pug breakers

[electropug]

hi i understand that but after looking at forums regarding reftro fitting yourself a few things came up like factory have a latch on inner boot for passengers and it may be an mot fail if its not there, though i would be happy buying and converying if all the pros and cons were ok like above, thanks for fast reply

Just had a quick look on ebay & 7 cars pop up with seven seats starting at £80.00 & going to £1495.00, just type in 406 sevenseater

Hi, I converted my 2.2Hdi Exec to a 7 seat with an ebay auction for the kit. Took 2 me hours and was relatively easy, and I'm a ham-fisted muppet....!!

Just make sure all the pieces are there before you bid, or find a local one and check it yourself.

Check this one - not sure where you are but this looks like a good example.

yes that would be great but i cant get it till 21st onwards when i sell my focus, but thats what im looking for thanks

[crackpotterpig]

well mine went for £720 in the end..........someone got a absolute bargain!!

[electropug]

i did look and yes yours looked ace, but as i say on 21st il be listing my focus for 1000, then as soon as it sells il be buying a 406 estate 2.0 hdi, gotta be honest looking at vids on youtube these cars look really kitted compared to my car, 1 reason for the purchase

[GingerMagic]

There are plenty of 406 Estates on eBay / Gumtree etc. Maybe start looking the week before you sell your Focus to give time for auctions to end.

If you see any you like, you can post the link on the forum so we can all check it out, for good points and bad points..

Good luck.

sounds great will do asap, what is best milage as wen i bought my focus it was on 127000 and i had to have a new engine so now ama bit weary of milages but whats best average for the 2.0 hdi, as i dont want da ja vou if u know what i mean, thanks

[dirtydirtydiesel]

If looked after properly the 2.0 hdi can run to 300k no prob , but you need proof of service history & some parts cannot be skimped on ie: cambelt kit's
Don't be put off by a car that's in nice condtion with a good service history & high miles, ie 140k-150k +.
Just if it has look for & ask for proof of clutch replacment too as this can be expensive .
T.B.H that's about all there is to worry about, like I said I'd buy a high mileage good cond/service hist car over a low mileage / scruffy or no history car anyday .
Hope this is of some help Paul
